Race format and scoring
This will be a single-elimination tournament. A team will move on in the bracket with the highest team score at the end of each heat. A heat will consist of 2 teams going head to head in 4 races. Cars will alternate lanes between each race.
The bracket will go from 16 teams in the first round to 8. 2nd round will go from 8 teams to 4. Semi final will go from 4 teams to 2 and the final will be the 2 remaining teams for the championship. The team that wins the final race will be declared the winner. Race host has final decision in all races.
There will be a qualifying to determine the bracket.
Penalties/DNF
Teams are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.
If a team fails to meet any of the restrictions listed above, the car will not qualify for victory. Offending cars will still race. Finish position and any prize will go to the runner-up in the case of the penalty car winning.
Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins. Cars that break during racing will not be repaired or replaced.
Prizes
$50.00 Walmart gift card to the winning team.
Discussion
Im in ! Just need clearification ... We build the two cars or do you have to recruit a team member ?
- You build 2. Matching paint or decals. 1 car is older than 2000, the other is 2000 or newer. I’ll mark you down. — RancidCactus
- Your team has arrived! — RancidCactus
Well I'm in sounds a little interesting. I'll figure out what cars I'm gonna do in a few weeks and it would be under my usual number of 101. I would suggest you consider moving your team weight combined weight to 100 g. That would allow me to get 50 g in each car if I'm reading that correctly.
- The weight limit was by design. You will have to decide how to split it up between the cars. could lead to interesting results if every car is not the same weight. Thoughts? — RancidCactus
- Ok that makes sense regarding the weight - I’ll go with team Chevy this time around. — AbbyNormal
- Just a reminder that we are 2 weeks out from the deadline. I know with all of the races it can be hard to keep track. I hope to see your team arrive soon! — RancidCactus
- Thanks for the reminder I’ve been hugely overwhelmed, upgrading and rebuilding both of my tracks. Should have your car finished in the next few days. — AbbyNormal
- Your team has arrived! — RancidCactus
Here is how team racing will be scored. It will not be scored only by straight speed down the track.
I'll join. I'll do team Mustang please.
I take a spot if you still have room
- You are on the grid! — RancidCactus
- So we have send 2 cars am i right — Bolo_Brown
- Correct. one car is a year 2000 or newer. The other is older than 2000 — RancidCactus

- Your team has arrived ! — RancidCactus

Put Boggs Family Racing down for Team Mopar.
- Could I do GTO's? — BoggsFamilyRacing
- as long as one car is 2000 or newer and one is older than 2000. That works — RancidCactus
- Just a reminder that we are 2 weeks out from the deadline. I know with all of the races it can be hard to keep track. I hope to see your team arrive soon! — RancidCactus
- Going in mail tomorrow. 2 GTOs — BoggsFamilyRacing
- Awesome! I love GTOs — RancidCactus
- Your team has arrived! — RancidCactus
Go ahead and sign me up
- You are on the grid! — RancidCactus
- Just a reminder that we are 2 weeks out from the deadline. I know with all of the races it can be hard to keep track. I hope to see your team arrive soon! — RancidCactus

- Amazing! Thank you! — RancidCactus
- Your team arrived today! — RancidCactus
I'll send a team in.
- Awesome! Welcome — RancidCactus
- I just put both Camaros I wanted to use for this on the scale together and they came out at a combined 89g without modifying them. Not sure if I'm going to stick to that or not now. — sloppybear
- Yep that's why I made the combined weight limit 90g. Some of the older castings are 50g so you might not be able to do 50/50 split unless you cut weight from one car to be able to add to the lighter one. Wanted to make it a challenge instead of the usual 'cram as much weight as possible' builds — RancidCactus
- Just a reminder that we are 2 weeks out from the deadline. I know with all of the races it can be hard to keep track. I hope to see your team arrive soon! — RancidCactus
- I went back to the well since the original 1969 Camaro I chose was painfully slow despite being heavy stock. Trying to get something more competitive together this week. — sloppybear
- ugh frustrating I'm sure. Excited to see what everyone builds and ends up sending in! — RancidCactus
- Post office says my Camaros should be there Thursday or Friday. We'll see how they do! — sloppybear
- Awesome! Looking forward to seeing what you built. — RancidCactus
- Your team has arrived! — RancidCactus
- Your team has arrived! — RancidCactus
